Free [Kickstarter] Book of Exalted Darkness: a holy decopunk world for evil adventurers! (2 free PDFs; do-gooder supplement unlocked!)

Mike Myler · May 23, 2017

This book is two things: a holy decopunk campaign setting and a supplement for evil GMs and players.

The world of Askis is a utopian society built upon technology powered by inaequa, a wondrous substance that has greatly advanced scientific discovery—while radiating energy that elongates the lives of creatures that are good of heart. The players assume the roles of fundamentally wicked souls destined to villainy, uniting together against the world’s fundamental injustice to better undermine and ultimately destroy the 9 spheres that supplant the rule of the Celestial Heroes!

120 fantastic backers have unlocked the do-gooder BOOK OF CELESTIAL HEROES supplement!

30 pages devoted to the holy decopunk utopia of Askis and its three continents: contiguous Ouranios, Samovi, and Zakuthombo.
27 pages covering the 9 Spheres of Askis, great workings of the Celestial Heroes that rule over the world. By undertaking epic quests the PCs will solidify these global magics, making certain they last long after their creators pass away.
33 pages of Player Options including Innate Beliefs, the new exemplar class, holy and technological class archetypes, feats (including troths for those devoted to celibacy, charity, hardship, truth, and more), inaequa equipment (like automobiles, blimps, and even jetpacks!), the holy magic tradition, and holy relics to give holy PCs an edge in their fight against evil!
30 pages of powerful Mad Scientists, ruthless evil adventurers, and vile monsters for the party to hunt down and fight against!
